Are Plaid Shorts Back in Style?!

Walking through a department store recently, I noticed...

.. racks of men's bright plaid shorts...

... and shirts.

Plaid was in style back in 1973, when this honeymoon photo of my brother and his wife was taken. My mother had taken a tailoring course and had made the jacket for him...

Seeing all this plaid in stores this summer reminds me of the summer of 1973!
